Magical?Yes. A chocolatier in Manchester has created a magical Easter egg that will no doubt send all Harry Potter fans into a flurry of excitement.

How?The black Sorting Egg, inspired by JK Rowling’s world of witchcraft and wizardry, is with a golden lightning bolt symbol on the front is decorated with a broomstick, a hat and a pretzel wand.

And the magic?The egg has a miniature scroll inside to sort the customer into a Hogwarts house, but it's a complete surprise which one you get.

Fancy eggs.It is. The bakery is also known for its unicorn egg, as well as a mermaid and Manchester bee egg.

What’s with the name ‘Sorting Egg’?This milk chocolate egg isn’t called “The Sorting Hat” for no reason. Once it’s been opened, you’ll be presented with a scroll that will tell you which house you’ve been sorted into, in addition to an ample supply of milk chocolate callets.

Fancy!It takes around two hours to make a batch of 18, all of which are beautifully handmade. The egg costs £14.95 and has already made quite an impression on Harry Potter fans.

Ordering one online!Sadly, this cannot be purchase online, posted/shipped out. But Potter fans are known to travel far and wide to get their hands on something magical – and we can imagine this fun Easter egg is no different.
